MANILLA BILLS
The Author of this post is Solomon Dejesus
I recently started to pay most of my bills on-line. My children talked me into looking into paying my bills on-line. Writing checks had been working for the last fifty years for me, so it was a little hard when I made the leap to paying most of my bills on-line. At the end of every month, I would usually sit and send checks to : lick creek adt, the gas company, the electric company, the cable company, the phone company, and anything else that came in the mail that needed to be paid. It wasn’t too big of a deal, but did create a lot of paper work. My kids set me up with a website called Manilla.com. It is like an on-line folder that manages all of my bills. My bills are linked with the website and it alerts me to when the bills are due. It also allows me to link my bank account and pay them on-line. It is a lot easier than I thought that it was going to be and much more green too!

School starts and I miss my kids - Guest post
Guest post from: Steve Delaney
All of my kids have started school. There were times when I thought this day would never come. The day when I would have free time and be able to do what I wanted to do. I waited for the day when I could go to the grocery store without pushing the huge racecar cart for the kids. I thought this would be an exciting and wonderful day, but I find myself bored. I didn’t realize how much of my life my kids had become. I found myself sitting at home trying to find something to do. I thought maybe I would like watching more movies, so I ordered movie channels from DIRECTV. I thought I would want to read more, so I went to the library. The truth was that I missed my kids. I had been wishing away our time together and now I was wishing for it back. I guess I didn’t realize how lucky I was to have such great kids and such fun with them. Now I just want summer to get here so we can spend more time together.

Kids Are Enough - Guest Post
Contribution by Stevie Kirby
It’s really hard to know when your kids are old enough to leave at home. I mean, I think I’m a really good mom but there’s nothing out there that tells you at what age your kids will be fine if you leave them home alone. My pediatrician said that 10 or 12 is fine as long as they know the rules about not opening the door or leaving the house but my daughter is 11 now and I feel as if she may still be too young. I don’t know, though, maybe it’s just me being overprotective. I convinced my husband to help me do a few things around the house to make it safer like go to allhomeSecurity.com for a security system and install deadbolts on all the doors, so that helps a little bit. All in all, though, I just don’t want Dora being home alone and scared in case something happens or there’s a storm or something. Guess I’ll have to get over it soon and let her grow up a little bit!

How To Change A Flat Tire
Ugh! Flat tires! Nobody wants to deal with them, but if the inevitable happens to you, you want to know how to change a flat tire. Michelin Tires has teamed up with BzzAgent to get the word out on tire safety this summer and has provided the directions for properly changing a flat tire:
1. Safely pull over: Set your emergency brake and turn on your hazards
2. Prepare the tire: Remove the hubcap and loosen the lug nuts
3. Jack up your vehicle: Jack until the tire is about six inches off of the
ground — typically, the jack goes a few inches behind the front tires, or a
few inches in front of the rear tires (consult your vehicle owner’s manual)
4. Remove the flat tire: Remove the lug nuts, then position your hands at 9
and 3 o’clock on your tire and pull it straight off
5. Mount the spare tire: Align the holes on! the spa re with the threaded bolts
then replace each lug nut, followed by the lug nut across from it
6. Secure the spare tire: Lower your vehicle, then tighten each lug nut
followed by its opposite
7. Put away the tools: Replace the tools and store your flat tire
